Enjoy Life








We were contacted by Alina Tylman of Enjoy Life Foods and asked to write a honest review on two of their new gluten free products - Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks and Double Chocolate Crunch Granola. We were very excited as we are two girls who love our chocolate!

Enjoy Life is a company which specializes in making allergy friendly food products. They make all of their products free of the top allergens including wheat, dairy, peanuts, gluten, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Their products are gluten free certified by GFCO Gluten Free Certification Organization. For those interested in knowing they are also Halal and Kosher certified. Finally their products are made with natural ingredients, no trans fats and no genetically modified ingredients.

Lets start with the granola. I, for one, am not a huge fan of granola..but throw a bit of chocolate in there and I may change my mind. This was the case with the Double Chocolate Crunch. Its fabulous and without being overly sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed this snack. The granola is crunchy and small - such a great mix with the dark chocolate. This is such a great snack for people with allergies to wheat, gluten, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy etc. I dare you to try it - as I bet you wont be able to stop after just a handful. My sister thinks it would be especially great in yogurt or dessert parfaits. Kids will love it too.

The Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega chunks were a big hit with my sister's husband (gluten eater) - I think he ate half the bag by himself. However, we were able to save a cup to make some chocolate chip cookies. What I love about these chocolate chunks are that once again, they aren't overly sweet as they tasted like dark chocolate. They tasted great in the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies we made. I love chocolate so biting into huge chunks of chocolate is heaven to me. Especially if you tend to cook with no sugar - the chocolate chips add just the right amount of sweetness. So enjoy this one on its own or in cookies or muffins.

We also really enjoy Enjoy Life's Perky's Crunchy Flax Cereal which is full of fiber, protein and iron (6 grams of fiber, 7 grams of protein, and 20% of daily iron intake per serving). Definitely keep an eye out for this product as it can be challenging at times to find wholesome gluten free cereals which are high in nutrition. Highly recommended!

  1. Nutritious cereals taste better with the chocolate flavor.
